Revised Corporations Act, or the &ldquo;NCA,&rdquo; empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys&rsquo; fees, judgments, fines

person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination
of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does
not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had
reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.</P>

empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or

is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts
paid in settlement and attorneys&rsquo; fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of the action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the

by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in
settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of
competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.</P>

The determination must be made: (i)&nbsp;by the stockholders; (ii)&nbsp;by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting
of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (iii)&nbsp;if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv)&nbsp;if a

at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of

suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom
he or she is the legal representative of, is or was a director or officer or is or was serving at Busey&rsquo;s request or for Busey&rsquo;s
benefit as a director or officer of another corporation, or as Busey&rsquo;s representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys&rsquo; fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be
paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him or her in connection therewith. Busey&rsquo;s board of directors may in its
discretion cause the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding to be paid
by Busey as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking
by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Any such right of indemnification is not exclusive of any other right
which such directors, officers or representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, without limiting the generality of such statement,
they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law
